I have a number of domain names coming due soon. They're currently listedwith GoDaddy, and I want something that is cheaper than $20 per name and hasa bit more flexibility (such as email redirects and such) than what I'mgetting from GoDaddy.

Recommendations? I was looking for the past thread on the topic but I can'tseem to find it, though it appears that my eternal-september account goesback only 300 messages.

Anyhow, I believe someone recommended 1and1 and someone recommendedsomething that is some kind of animal, but I forget which one...

That would be me. I'm currently using 1and1.com without anydifficulties or surprises. I previously also used Joker.com (inGermany) but have moved all my domains to 1and1.com mostly foradministrative convenience. Since the cost of one screwup usuallyexceeds any savings on the registration chargers, I look forreliability, not price. I've had to help friends using Go Daddydomain and hosting which is why I avoid them.

Transferring my various domains from Joker.com was fairly painless.<http://www.1and1.com/domain-transfer>Where it screwed up was that all the CNAME records transferredperfectly, but my collection of aliases were lost because 1and1 treatsthem the same:<http://help.1and1.com/domains-c36931/domain-administration-c79822/dns-settings-c37586/enter-a-cname-record-for-your-domain-a643600.html>

My usage needs are different than yours, but I'm using namecheap.comnow. It has consensus support in the panix.* internal user groups,which you can't read on eternal-september. They were recently (earlierthis month) having a promotion where they'd donate some amount ofmoney to the EFF for each domain switched to them. I like that bit.

Elijah------the namecheap.com site is easier on the eyes than godaddy.com
